Hello, I'm Fabia from Argentina. The question is what is something you enjoy doing with your family?
Well here in Argentina it's traditional to have lunch with the whole family on Sundays. We make asado which is a big barbeque with all kinds of meats. Argentina is a country known because of their meats, the quality of the meats, so we just gather every Sunday and talk about the week and also drink a lot of wine.

One person I really admire is Charles Darwin. If you don't know, he's a very, very famous scientist which lived in the 1800's. He was born in England but travelled the world and came up with probably the most influential science of our time. He discovered the theory of evolution, and this theory has changed the way we think about life, and has changed the way I personally think about life and the world and how science works, so he's really amazing. He thought outside the box, and came up with something really original and really important and changed a lot people's perceptions. I also like Charles Darwin because he was very into nature and discovering how it worked and how different animals did the same things in different ways, and really brought zoology and wildlife into people's homes and into people's books, so he made a lot of big changes to the world. That's why I like Charles Darwin.

Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. However, the regimentation resulting from grades still exists. Grades often stifle creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades impose an arbitrary standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be abolished immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School. Magdalena Smith, President, Drama Club  Let's face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades motivate students to work at their highest level of competence. Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a reprimand to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure student achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university. I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School. Simon Harper, Member, Science Club 1. Simon Harper writes from the viewpoint of someone who (a) wants business to hire more students (b) believes in the benefits of good grades (c) is concerned about students' creativity (d) supports students' interests and abilities (e) doesn't work too hard at his studies 2. Magdalena Smith thinks it is important for (a) students to get good jobs (b) students to participate in music, dramatics, and sports (c) students to compete more for grades (d) educators to have more control over grades (e) students to be reprimanded for not working hard 3. Which of the following states a fact about grades at Village High School? (a) They are not useful (b) They stifle creativity (c) They foster unnecessary competition (d) They should be optional (e) They are currently in use 4. Which of the following is NOT an opinion expressed by Magdalena Smith? (a) Grades should be abolished. (b) Regimentation results from grades. (c) Grades impose arbitrary standards of success. (d) Students should be able to learn without worrying about grades. (e) Competition may discourage students from pursuing subjects such as drama and art. ________________________________________________________________ ARCHITECTURE A BRAND NEW STYLE HELLEN WANTS TO MAKE SOME CHANGES IN HER HOUSE.
